Paper Handling Precautions
❏Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.
❏To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the
sheets supplied with the paper.
❏Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the
printable side.
❏If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled
paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-
printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams
continue.
❏Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper
packaging or contact the manufacturer to conrm the paper specications.
❏Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are pued up with air,
press them down to atten them before loading.

Basic Information on Scanning
What is a "Scan"?
A "scan" is the process of converting the optical information of paper data such as documents into digital image
data.
You can save scanned data as a digital image such as a JPEG or PDF.
You can then print the image, send it by email, and so on.
Scanning Uses
You can use scanning in a variety of ways to make your life more convenient.
❏By scanning a paper document and turning it into digital data, you can read it on a computer or a smart device.
❏By scanning tickets or yers into digital data, you can dispose of the originals and reduce clutter.
❏By scanning important documents, you can back them up to cloud services or another storage medium, just in
case they get lost.
❏You can send the scanned photos or documents to friends by email.
❏By scanning hand-drawn illustrations and so on, you can share them on social media at a much higher quality
than by just taking a photo on your smart device.
❏By scanning your favorite pages from newspapers or magazines, you can save them and dispose of the originals.
Available Scanning Methods
You can use any of the following methods to scan using this printer.
Scanning to a Computer
ere are two methods of scanning originals to a computer; scanning using the printer’s control panel, and
scanning from the computer.

77
Scanning Directly from Smart Devices
You can save scanned images directly to a smart device such as a smart phone or tablet by using the Epson Smart
Panel application on the smart device.
Recommended File Formats to Suit Your Purpose
Generally speaking, the JPEG format is suitable for photos while the PDF format is suitable for documents.
See the following descriptions to choose the best format for what you want to do.
File Format Description
JPEG (.jpg) A le format that allows you to compress the data to be saved. If the compression ratio
is high, the image quality declines, and you cannot convert the image back to the
original quality.
This is the standard image format for digital cameras. This format is suitable for images
that have many colors.
PDF (.pdf) A general le format that can be used across dierent operating systems and provides
the same level of screen display and print result.
Also, you can save the multiple pages as a one le.
You can view PDF les using dedicated PDF reading software or in Web browsers.
Recommended Resolutions to Suit Your Purpose
Resolution indicates the number of pixels (smallest area of an image) for each inch (25.4 mm), and is measured in
dpi (dots per inch). e advantage of increasing the resolution is that the details in the image become ne.
However, it can also have the following disadvantages.
❏e le size becomes large
(When you double the resolution, the le size becomes about four times larger.)
❏Scanning, saving, and reading the image takes a long time
❏Sending and receiving emails or faxes takes a long time
❏e image becomes too large to t the display or print on the paper
See the table and set the appropriate resolution for the purpose of your scanned image.

Ink Bottle Handling Precautions
Read the following instructions before relling ink.
Storing precautions for ink
❏Keep the ink bottles out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not store the ink bottles in high or freezing temperatures.
❏Epson recommends using the ink bottle before the date printed on the package.
❏When storing or transporting an ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink
bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take precautions to prevent ink from leaking when transporting the
bottle, for example, putting the bottle in a bag.
❏Aer bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least
three hours before using it.
❏Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to ll the ink tank. e ink bottle is vacuum packed to
maintain its reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, normal printing may
not be possible.
❏Once you open an ink bottle, we recommend using it as soon as possible.
Handling precautions for relling ink
❏To ensure you receive premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve
remains in the ink tank when your printer indicates to rell ink. e yields quoted for you do not include this
reserve.
❏For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏Use ink bottles with the correct part code for this printer.
❏e ink for this printer must be handled carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are being lled or relled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come o.
❏Do not shake too vigorously or squeeze the ink bottles.
❏Prolonged use of the printer when the ink level is below the lower line could damage the printer. Fill the ink
tank to the upper line while the printer is not operating. To display the correct ink level estimates, reset the ink
level aer lling the tank.
❏To obtain optimum printing results, rell the ink tanks to the upper line at least once every year.

Ink consumption
❏To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn the printer on.
❏When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏e ink in the ink bottles supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
❏Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
❏Visually check ink levels in the actual ink tanks. Prolonged use of the printer when the ink is expended could
damage the printer. Epson recommends lling the ink tank to the upper line when the printer is not operating
to reset the ink level.
Relling the Ink Tank
1. Select Maintenance on the printer's control panel.
2. Select Fill Ink.
3. Read all of the usage precautions for lling ink on the screen, and then proceed to the next screen.

❏Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.
❏Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and le detached for a long period. Ink inside the box
will have solidied and no more ink can be absorbed.
❏Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
❏Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
Replacing a Maintenance Box
In some print cycles a very small amount of surplus ink may be collected in the maintenance box. To prevent ink
leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the
maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how oen this is required will vary according to the number
of pages you print, the type of material that you print and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs.
When a message is displayed prompting you to replace the maintenance box, refer to the animations displayed on
the control panel. e need for replacement of the box does not mean that your printer has ceased to operate in
accordance with its specications. e Epson warranty does not cover the cost of this replacement. It is a user-
serviceable part.
Note:
❏When the maintenance box is full, you cannot print and clean the print head until it is replaced to avoid ink leakage.
However, you can perform operations that do not use ink such as scanning.

❏IP address
❏Subnet mask
❏Default gateway
Decide the IP address to assign to the printer.
When you assign the IP address statically, all values are required.
When you assign the IP address dynamically using the DHCP function,
this information is not required because it is set automatically.

information
❏SSID
❏Password
These are the SSID (network name) and the password of the access
point that the printer connects to.
If MAC address ltering has been set, register the MAC address of the
printer in advance to register the printer.
See the following for the supported standards.
“Wi-Fi Specications” on page 268
DNS server information ❏IP address for
primary DNS
❏IP address for
secondary DNS
These are required when specifying DNS servers. The secondary DNS
is set when the system has a redundant conguration and there is a
secondary DNS server.
If you are in a small organization and do not set the DNS server, set
the IP address of the router.

IP Address Assignment
ese are the following types of IP address assignment.
Static IP address:
Assign the predetermined IP address to the printer (host) manually.
e information to connect to the network (subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server and so on) need to be set
manually.
e IP address does not change even when the device is turned o, so this is useful when you want to manage
devices with an environment where you cannot change the IP address or you want to manage devices using the IP
address. We recommend settings to the printer, server, etc. that many computers access.
Automatic assignment by using DHCP function (dynamic IP address):
Assign the IP address automatically to the printer (host) by using the DHCP function of the DHCP server or
router.
e information to connect to the network (subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server and so on) is set
automatically, so you can easily connect the device to the network.
If the device or the router is turned o, or depending on the DHCP server settings, IP address may change when
re-connecting.
We recommend managing devices other than the IP address and communicating with protocols that can follow
the IP address.
Note:
When you use the IP address reservation function of the DHCP, you can assign the same IP address to the devices at any
time.
DNS Server and Proxy Server
e DNS server has a host name, domain name of the email address, etc. in association with the IP address
information.
Communication is impossible if the other party is described by host name, domain name, etc. when the computer
or the printer performs IP communication.
Queries the DNS server for that information and gets the IP address of the other party. is process is called name
resolution.
erefore, the devices such as computers and printers can communicate using the IP address.
Name resolution is necessary for the printer to communicate using the email function or Internet connection
function.
When you use those functions, make the DNS server settings.

When you assign the printer's IP address by using the DHCP function of the DHCP server or router, it is
automatically set.
e proxy server is placed at the gateway between the network and the Internet, and it communicates to the
computer, printer, and Internet (opposite server) on behalf of each of them. e opposite server communicates
only to the proxy server. erefore, printer information such as the IP address and port number cannot be read
and increased security is expected.
When you connect to the Internet via a proxy server, congure the proxy server on the printer.
Connecting to the Network from the Control Panel
Connect the printer to the network by using the printer's control panel.
Assigning the IP Address
Set up the basic items such as Host Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway.
is section explains the procedure for setting a static IP address.
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Select Settings on the home screen on the printer's control panel.
3. Select General Settings > Network Settings > Advanced > TCP/IP.
